New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought (www.pcguide.com)

Source is KeplerL2, who is generally considered a reliable source for insider hardware info, particularly on AMD GPU hardware and AMD SoC for consoles.

Previously I would have personally estimated Steam Deck 2 to release mid 2026-early 2027, but the recent info about an upcoming Steam Machine made me think that maybe I should push back that estimate.

Of course even if we assume this is reliable insider info, a lot can change in couple years, so things can definitely change.

I guess it’s consumerism and people always wanting more.

I’d be happy if the Steam Deck 2 wasn’t released until 2028 as I’ve just got my used LCD in 2025.

I have a friend who is like that. He doesn't leave anything behind. He basically has every gaming console out there, two PCs, 3 handhelds..... Etc. He has over 1800 games in his team library. I couldn't do that even if I had the money for it. Man, we don't even have enough hours in the day to play all of that shit. Lmao

Some of us grew up with limited access to consoles, maybe one per generation if we were lucky (and you better hope it's not the Sega Saturn if you want something that'll still have new games in a couple years), so when we grew up and started working, we compensate by trying to catch them all, Pokemon style.

I can only speak for myself though.

Understandable. I grew up in a 3rd world country. I didn't have power in my house until 2007. Owned my first laptop in 2010 when I came to the US. Owned my first ever gaming console in 2011, I was 30 back then. Lol. I completely understand where you are coming from. I have zero judgement in (on?) this matter.
